Every red droplet that flows
Replaces every tear no one knows
I sever my heart into pieces
Let everyone see
But I go closing this wound back up

This black, vacant space is now where it used to be
It was swallowed up whole by what was inside of me
I feel like my insides are being  devoured
By something, something so callous and sour

These extreme  feelings inside
That I continue to try to hide
I block out the pain with this blade
Knowing someday the scars will then fade

And, maybe just maybe My heart can be brought back to life
The veil covering this ugly worthless person I've become then lifted
And the tool used to shock the heart will succeed and this code blue
Will then hopefully be over soon
